Salvation through Born Again

dom.
13 Though there are no thoughts
in us for the eternal kingdom, the
word of God became the source
of hope and it worked in us.
14 We boast in our hope by hav-
ing the desire to receive the upc-
oming glorious kingdom.
15 The word should be fulfilled
which says that he, who boasts,
should boast in Christ who show
grace with justice and equality.
16 We rejoice with hope in the
Lord who is our knowledge, rig-
hteousness and holiness, redem-
ption and hope.
17IIOh man of hope! You are in
the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore
if anyone asks you a reason for
the glorious eternal kingdom for
which we are prepared,
18 Or if they ask you as to why
you became a man of hope, then
give them skillful answer with
patience and peace as a man of
hope who doesn’t need to be as-
hamed.
19 Which student doesn’t like to
write the exams? If he is not wil-
ling to write the exams, then he
should be ready to lose all his
glorious future.
20 Therefore, knowing that test
The Salvation is the Gift of God
gives hope, become a witness
of Jesus and teacher of the Holy
Spirit. Be ready to be victorious
in every test with precious hope
of faith.
21 God did not surrender the
upcoming glorious world to the
angels but He prepared it for His
Children so that it may not beco-
me vain by Christ who subjug-
ated it.
22 Therefore, we hope for such
glorious kingdom and we are
called in Christ to wait for it.
23We, who received the first fr-
uit of the Spirit, are saved by faith
and hope through new birth.
24 Be comforted in the hope
given by the meditation of word.
Bear with patience.
25 Like a sports man who runs
fast in a race, our hope should
run very fast to fulfill its purpose.
26 Resurrection of the Lord
Jesus is the source of our hope.
27 I will come to you according
to the will of the Lord. Therefore
be alert and firm in faith. Be str-
ong with zealous.

earth. God, who is the source of
hope, will establish us with His
hope so that your faith may spre-
ad rapidly.
2 We will be with Him forever in
the glorious kingdom. We will be
satisfied and honored with eternal
life and hope.
3 - 4 Will not the farmer and the
man who press the barn work
with hope? Do the work of the
gospel by knowing that God wo-
uld grant the eternal rewards to
His children in His kingdom. Wo-
rk hard according to the will of
God so that those who are appo-
inted for the eternal life may be
dragged out of lake of fire.
5 The blessings are prepared in
heaven and upon the earth for th-
ose who hope in the word. Ther-
efore meditate the word carefully
and listen to the voice of the Lord
and labor for God’s kingdom.
6 Many are sleeping till morning
like the bear without meditating
God’s word.
7 They think only about this life
and don’t understand the upcom-
ing glorious kingdom. They live
a useless and wretched life. Be-
ware of such men.
8 I warn you that you may be
The Salvation is the Gift of God
comforted by the word of God
during your sufferings and trou-
bles to be firm in hope.
9 Because – the darkness is
passing away. The light is at the
hand.
10 God would rescue us in any
condition. Don’t you know that
His grace will not fail though
mountains and hills are out of
place?
11Therefore pray with hope and
preach the word rightly dividing
so that many may understand
the word clearly and live accor-
dingly.
12-15 The sinners should rea-
lize that our preaching is not to
please men but God who exa-
mines the hearts. Also they may
know that our preaching is not
with deceptive words and use-
less talk or flattering or a cloke
of covetousness, uncleanness,
and profane old wives fables.
16 Teach the word of God acc-
ording to the will of God to the
standards of sound doctrine.
Teach people that those who
follow the teaching should be
strong with stability in the power
of God’s word till the last.
17 Warn them that their hope
